Cross-Check: A Dark Enemies-to-Lovers Hockey Romance

By Isla Vaughn

Teaming up was the smart move. Falling for him again wasn't.

Luke King isn't just the captain of Blackwood's hockey team-he's the guy who made it his mission to break me the second I came back. But the truth we uncovered changed everything, and now we're on the same side. At least, that's what we tell ourselves.

In public, we're distant. Guarded. Careful. Behind closed doors, it's a different story-charged looks, stolen moments, and a connection neither of us can shake.

But this town runs on secrets. And we're sitting on a powder keg.

If anyone finds out we're working together-worse, that we're not just allies but something deeper-we won't survive the fallout. Not with enemies watching. Not with his family pulling the strings.

We can't afford to fall for each other. But the harder we try to play it smart, the more dangerous this game becomes.

And I'm starting to wonder if the real risk... is not falling at all.

Cross-Check is a steamy, angst-filled, second chance, enemies-to-lovers hockey romance tangled in power plays, forbidden desire, and dangerous truths. Perfect for fans of elite academy romance with dark twists and ruthless hockey captains.
